• Lead vendor outreach to proactively source, track, and update material pricing, product data, and material specifications.

• Manage essential pre-construction documentation, including processing RFIs (Requests for Information) and compiling submittal packages.

• Track project timelines and deliverables across the entire estimation funnel, ensuring deadlines are met for fast-moving bidding cycles.

• Calculate specialized civil and site requirements, including precise linear footage and area calculations for extensive community infrastructure.

Project Types

• Master-planned community developments (250+ residential units with scopes ranging from $35M–$55M)

• Single-family homes, townhouses, and multi-family residential units

• Clubhouses, fitness hubs, and community amenity centers

• Software Proficiency: Advanced skills in Microsoft Excel and hands-on experience with standard digital takeoff software.

• Communication & Alignment: Fluent English communication skills (written and verbal) for seamless daily collaboration, internal reporting, and vendor relations.
